Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia. Early detection through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) screening is a simple, effective, and affordable method to reduce cervical cancer incidence. However, the coverage of VIA screening in the working area of Kelapa Community Health Center remains low. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes and the intention of women of reproductive age (WRA) to undergo VIA screening. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of women of reproductive age (30–50 years) in the working area of Kelapa Community Health Center. A total of 108 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and intention to undergo VIA screening (p = 0.000; POR = 40.000; 95% CI: 13.18–121.39). A significant association was also found between attitudes and intention (p = 0.000; POR = 53.714; 95% CI: 16.80–171.72). Women with poor knowledge and negative attitudes were significantly more likely to have low intention to undergo VIA screening. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes significantly influence the intention of women of reproductive age to undergo VIA screening. Strengthening health education and promotive interventions related to cervical cancer screening is essential to increase women’s participation in VIA examinations at the primary healthcare level.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that may begin during pregnancy and is strongly influenced by maternal nutritional status, particularly adequate protein intake. Pregnant women with 4T risk factors (too young, too old, short birth spacing, and high parity) are more vulnerable to nutritional problems that can affect fetal growth. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of high-risk pregnant women in fulfilling protein intake through nutrition education and training on soy milk (PUSUI) preparation as an alternative source of plant-based protein. A quasi-experimental design without a control group was applied using a participatory educational approach. The activity was conducted in Tanjung Gunung Village, Central Bangka Regency, involving 25 pregnant women with 4T risk factors. The intervention consisted of interactive educational sessions, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations and practice in soy milk preparation. Evaluation was carried out descriptively through observation and post-test assessments to measure participants' understanding. The results showed an improvement in participants' knowledge regarding the role of protein during pregnancy and their ability to independently prepare soy milk. In addition, participants demonstrated good acceptance of soy milk as an alternative protein source. In conclusion, this community service program is effective and feasible as a supportive strategy to increase protein intake among high-risk pregnant women and contribute to stunting prevention from the prenatal period.
